McMahon hits go-ahead RBI single in 7th as Yankees beat Guardians 2-1 to avoid
3-game sweep

NEW YORK (AP) --- Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning,
Carlos Rodn combined with three relievers on a two-hitter and the New York
Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 Thursday to salvage the finale of a
three-game series that star Aaron Judge missed.
New York manager Aaron Boone said before the game that the team was awaiting an
update on Judge, who has a bruised rib on his right side that is causing
shoulder pain. After the game, Boone said they were still awaiting an update
from a specialist in Texas.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tying sacrifice fly in the fourth and started the
seventh-inning rally with a one-out walk from Codi Heuer (0-1). Chisholm stole
second and advanced to third on a wild pitch during consecutive pitches, then
scored on McMahon's single as the Yankees went on to win for the seventh time
in 10 games.
Rodn allowed one run and two hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and
three walks. Stuart Fairchild hit an RBI single in the fourth.
Brett Headrick (4-1) pitched the seventh, and Fernando Cruz tossed a perfect
eighth. David Bednar got three groundouts for his 13th save in 15 chances.
Max Schuemann started in place of Judge and made a pair of nice plays in his
first career start in right field. In the second, he charged in for a diving
catch on Steven Kwan's sinking liner and five innings later, he made a leaping
catch on Brayan Rocchio in front of the fence.
Cleveland's Slade Cecconi allowed one run and four hits in six innings.
